Mission: To be a relevant, Christ-centered outreach ministry partnering with local churches to provide care, counseling, and education to those impacted by unplanned pregnancies.
Mountain Area Pregnancy Services (MAPS) is a nonprofit, faith-based organization located in Asheville, North Carolina, that offers support and guidance to individuals facing unplanned pregnancies. Founded on Christian principles, MAPS serves as a safe, confidential resource for women and men, providing compassionate care, accurate information, and a variety of free services to those navigating pregnancy-related decisions. The organization seeks to empower individuals to make informed choices, offering support that is both medically sound and spiritually uplifting.
MAPS provides free pregnancy testing, limited obstetric ultrasounds, and detailed information on pregnancy options, including parenting, adoption, and abortion. Their services extend beyond pregnancy assistance, including grief counseling for those who have experienced pregnancy loss due to miscarriage or stillbirth, and support for families facing a devastating prenatal diagnosis. The organization also offers educational resources, including life skills and parenting classes, to help expectant mothers and fathers prepare for parenthood.
As a nonprofit, MAPS partners with local churches and community organizations to extend its reach and provide additional resources for clients. The goal of MAPS is not only to assist during pregnancy but also to offer ongoing support to help families thrive, building healthier, more resilient individuals and communities.
